As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter steers were trending higher based on a limited comparison. Holstein slaughter steers were mostly steady based on a limited comparison. Slaughter cows were mostly steady to 2.00 higher. No other comparisons are available because of light receipts this week probably from the frigid temperatures in the area.
